JG | Do you need a Degree for investing, Whats the best way to understand investing? |
Do I get a degree in business, Take courses on investing, or just keep studying and reading books like i have been doing? I think the only way to fully understand investing is through experience but reading has helped understand the basics so far. |

JG, do yourself the biggest favor you could ever do.....read all about "options"
Regardless of what a stock does, if you learn to "sell" options, you can make
yourself 20% + a year off your money without spending a penny of your stash.
Go to the library and read all you can about "options".
It may be the only last way to make money in the market today.
You will read about all kinds of technical "plays" but just skim over them and study
the basics of "selling" options. You only MAKE money when you sell something.
I make thousands a year by using my money as collateral while I sell an option on a
good sound stock.
Good Luck to you in the future. |

Hey there,
A degree might help, but it is not absolutely necessary, there are people with degrees that loose millions in stock, so it is no guarantee,
One book that has helped me a lot (and it helped Warren Buffet as well) is Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor, it is a masterpiece, it is not about hot picks or fads, it is about value investing, it is very powerful, in that book, Mr. Graham also recommends some other good books,
they have a review of the book and a list of the books recommended in it at this site, check it out if you want to learn some more:
http://recommendedbookstoread.com/BooksbyBenjaminGraham.html
I think what is most important is to know why you are investing, if you cant explain it to a 10 year old kid in 30 seconds, then forget about it, and forget about complex formulas, value investing is the key.
Hope t helps. |

You're doing fine. Ask questions about those topics you do not understand. |

It will help you understand investing better. But you dont need a degree if you are just going to open a retail account and trade stocks or other securities. In fact its a waste of money and time, with all the prerequisites and things you will learn about and never use. Read the best books you can afford. And find courses at junior colleges or other organizations. |

First off, completely disregard everything the guy above suggested in regards to options. He is leading you down a dangerous road because if you do not understand how stocks move, than you certainly could never understand how options function.
As for learning to invest, here are my suggestions:
1. Ask around as you are doing now for advice.
2. Find someone to talk with in person, to have your questions answered immediately.
3. Find a good book to learn the basics from. As silly as it sounds, I strongly suggest the "investing for dummies" or "stocks for dummies" books. The reason why I suggest these books for beginners is because they avoid all the extra details ands really focus on the basics.
4. Watch the news, CNBC is the best. Not only are they focused 100% on the stock market, but they have experts explaining how they think.
5. Last one, watch the stock market on your own. watch how the news effects how the stocks move up and down and figure things out on your own. Sometimes its better to learn through discovery than just to be told the answers.
In regards to the 2nd item I posted, if you have any questions about anything feel free to ask away. I'd be glad to share my thoughts to help you understand! Good luck! |
